We will explore the French language and culture by following the lives of real students from the University of Texas who have participated in the UT Summer Program in Lyon, France. In addition to following the exploits of these UT students, we will also watch interviews of native French speakers, as well as scenes of day-to-day interactions in France.
Bienvenue!

Watch the introductory video to Français Interactif. Where are the UT students? As you can see from this video, Français Interactif will help you explore the French language and culture by following the lives of real UT students who par-ticipated in the UT Summer Program in Lyon, France. The UT students will intro-duce you to their French host families, their French university, and their lives in France. Keep in mind as you watch these students that they were in your posi-tion only a year ago--enrolled in beginning French! This program shows you that it IS possible to learn French well enough to communicate with native speakers.
In addition to following the exploits of these UT students, you will also watch vid-eos of native French speakers as well as scenes of day-to-day interactions (e.g., vendors in the market, waiters at a café, children getting ready to go to school, etc.). A bilingual family in Austin will bridge the gap between UT and France and French-speaking critters will help you learn with Tex’s French Grammar. Bienvenue! We hope you will enjoy studying French with Français Interactif.
